Wild at Heart

Let’s begin by mapping out existing green spaces and identifying small gaps where we can create vital links to connect these areas, building a stronger network for wildlife. We’ll plant hedgerows, wildflower strips, and mini woodlands to create continuous corridors that enable animals to safely travel between green spaces. By collaborating with the Wildlife Trust at St. Nicholas, we’ll receive expert advice on improving habitats for birds, hedgehogs, and insects, ensuring our green corridors support a wide range of species. To further protect wildlife, we’ll install wildlife crossings, such as hedgehog tunnels in fences, allowing animals to safely navigate through urban spaces.

For ecological sustainability, we’ll carefully map out existing green spaces and identify key gaps where corridors can be developed, using hedgerows, wildflower strips, and native shrubs to connect these areas. Working closely with the Wildlife Trust, we’ll ensure the plant choices are diverse and beneficial to local species, creating a thriving ecosystem.

To ensure economic sustainability, we’ll secure sponsorships from environmental charities, gaining both financial support and valuable expertise. We’ll host community events, such as wildlife walks and tracking workshops, to raise awareness and funds while fostering a deeper connection to nature. Volunteer-led maintenance programs will help keep costs low, empowering local residents to take ownership of the green corridors and contribute to the project’s long-term success. This initiative will not only enhance local wildlife habitats but also build a more resilient and sustainable community.
